After wipe of drive and reinstallation of Ventura by the Apple Store, and migration from Time Machine, Firefox won't launch. It's there, but it won't open. Click the icon and the icon moves as if it were going to launch, but the app doesn't open. If I were to reinstall Firefox, would it find and...

I have over 30 DVDs of home movies that I would like to convert to files that can be played on Mac and iPad. At this time I have all of them on physical disks and I have a disk player attached to the Mac. The videos are all also on the Mac in a variety of file formats: .img, cdr, .iso, and...

I have many -- hundreds -- of emails sorted into dozens of Mailboxes in Mail.app, These are things like conversations with others about genealogy research, email receipts, and so forth. Don't ask me how this happened because I don't know. First, somehow the Trash files disappeared from the...

I am sharing my Photos Library between my iMac and my iPad and would like to share with my wife's Mac and iPad. Can I do that, and if so, how? The library is in iCloud. We have shared iCloud storage but separate partitions.

I want to print from my iPad to a printer connected to the Mac by USB. When I attempt it, the iPad opens a "Print Options" page that says "No Printer Selected". Touch that and the iPad searches and declares "No Airprint Printers Found". From a MacBook I can print to the Mac-connected...

A couple of years ago, when Verizon turned their email servers over to AOL, I abandoned @verizon.net in favor of @iCloud.com. I had been using a verizon.net address as an Apple ID, and I changed it to a current email address. Same account, new name, with the help of Apple support. I have an...

I have an iMac, where I maintain my Photos and iTunes libraries. I share these with my iPad via Dropbox (Photos) and iCloud (iTunes). My wife has a Macbook Pro which shares Photos thru Dropbox and iTunes by sneakernet. (The latter is OK because the music rarely changes.) Now my wife has...

iMac running Mojave 10.14.2. In both Finder and NeoOffice, command File => New Window opens a new tab instead of a new window. In NeoOffice, opening a new text file while in a spreadsheet opens the text in a tab and vice versa. File => New Tab works as expected in both apps. File => New...

The title says it all. I upgraded to MacOS Mojave and now neither Firefox nor Google Chrome can reach any Web site. Firefox says "Unable to Connect" and Chrome says "This site can't be reached". Safari and Opera don't have this problem. I have two user accounts on this iMac, one Standard for...

I have been having trouble getting the Apple Mail app on the iMac to send. Everything had been working perfectly for months and then a couple of months ago for no reason the server started sometimes rejecting my outgoing emails. This was intermittent: most of the time it worked but then for a...

Mac OS 10.13.2 on brand new iMac, and 10.13.1 on MacBook Pro mid 2009. I would like to sync the Photos library on my iMac with my wife's MacBook Pro. This library is already synched with my iPad via iCloud, both machines using the same iCloud account. My wife's MacBook is associated with her...

iPad Air 2, iOS 11.1.2 The photos in albums transferred from Mac Photos to iOS Photos are sorted correctly, but the All Photos view in iOS is sorted according to I-have-no-idea-what. I see photos taken in 1960 and scanned in 2007 sorted in with photos taken in 2017 (and many other years). And...

Photos Version 3.0, the one that comes with High Sierra, fixes one of the major problems with earlier versions, which was that is sorted photos according to date of file creation rather than date when the photo was taken. That made a mess of scans from negatives and slides, which would be sorted...

I got myself thoroughly entangled in multiple iCloud accounts and need help getting out. Here is the problem: When I open System Preferences => iCloud a dropdown says "Back to My Mack can't start because of a problem with your account." Click OK and this pane vanishes. However, all the listed...

I have been getting my email via Verizon FiOS POP and Mac Mail.app, but now Verizon is turning its email servers over to AOL and there are several things about this that I dislike, not least of which is AOL. Therefore, I am considering abandoning Verizon email and moving all my email activity to...

Today I discovered a couple of orphan photos. These were taken, imported, and deleted a year and a half ago. They do not exist as far as the iPhoto user interface is concerned, and iPhoto Trash is empty, but these and lord only knows how many more orphan photos are cluttering the library. Is...

My late 2009 27-inch iMac is running very slowly. I'd like to know how I can fix the errors flagged in the attached EtreCheck report. Should I reinstall 10.12? If so, how? I don't think Apple will let me download the installer since I've already downloaded it once. Maybe from the recovery...

When it's turned on, my iPad Air opens with the background photo zoomed in such a way that the keyboard can't be reached to enter the password. Neither a restart or a reset will clear this.

Ever since I installed Yosemite my iMac has been running slower than any prior version of OS X I've used, all the way back to 10.4. I get jumpy movement of the cursor and jitter in Youtube videos. These are things I've never seen before. It has been suggested that I find and run a program...

In the aftermath of installing Yosemite on my wife's Macbook Pro, in order to set up iCloud I needed to enter an Apple ID. The system presented a pane with MY Apple ID and wanted MY password.[1] It would not let me change the Apple ID to my wife's. I have no idea how my Apple ID became...
